The robust strains of "Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" will signal the opening of the 11th annual Lions Club Minstrel April 10 at the Winchester High School auditorium.

Stamper recited "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer; Quinn recited "To An Athlete Dying Young" by A. E. Housman; and Ridgeway recited "I, Too" by Langston Hughes. The students practiced for about two weeks before the competition, learning presentation and performance skills.

Shakespeare’s midsummer dream will take the stage in Nicholasville a little closer to midwinter than originally planned. West Jessamine High School was supposed to put on “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” last weekend, Nov. 10-13, but a routine fire inspection by a state official revealed parts of the set constituted a fire hazard and had to be removed from the school’s auditorium. The play has been postponed until Dec. 8-11 while students and staff work to make felled trees flame retardant.
